The new season of The Voice has officially begun, and fans are thrilled with the fresh lineup of coaches! This season’s coaching panel is an exciting mix of talent, with country star Reba McEntire, pop icon Gwen Stefani, the smooth voice of Michael Bublé, and the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg. Together, they’re bringing something new to the show, and it’s already a hit!
On September 23, 2024, The Voice posted a sneak peek of the coaches performing together on Instagram, giving fans a preview of what this dynamic group has to offer. In keeping with tradition, the coaches kicked off the season by performing a song together, and they chose “Heartache Tonight” by The Eagles. This classic hit from 1979 was the perfect way for each coach to shine and showcase their talents.
Snoop Dogg stepped onto the stage in a stylish black suit, his confident stroll and laid-back style immediately capturing the crowd’s attention. Michael Bublé joined in next, dressed in a sharp black tuxedo, his silky voice adding a smooth touch to the performance.
Reba McEntire, with her country charm, gave the song a twist, adding warmth and depth to the chorus, while Gwen Stefani brought her energetic pop style, lighting up the stage with her dance moves and infectious smile.
As the song ended, the audience was cheering, and social media quickly filled with fans’ reactions. “Snoop is really holding his own. Wasn’t too sure about him being a judge, but I think he’s going to be great,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “I am SHOOKETH! They really got some excellent vocals out of Snoop.”
Fans loved Snoop’s singing, with one fan saying, “I didn’t know Snoop could sing?!!! I know him as a rapper,” while another said, “Snoop has a great voice. Very smooth—just like him.”
Not only was his singing a hit, but so was his style. One fan noticed his look, saying, “Love the jacket too. Everybody looked like they were having fun. Reba was serving vocals. This was her song choice. lol. Love it though.”
Many were surprised by his versatility, especially his ability to sing, with one fan adding, “Snoop’s singing voice was surprisingly good! I expected him to rap!” Another fan echoed, “Well Snoop surprised me too! Who knew he could sing like that? Nice surprise.”
Snoop has been gearing up for his debut on The Voice for months. Just a few months back, he spoke about it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Well, if you know anything about me, you know I love all forms of music. So this is a great opportunity for me to show I really understand music and, you know, be a real coach,” he told Fallon, sharing his excitement.
Snoop is also putting his own spin on coaching by offering special rewards to his top artists: Death Row Records chains, a nod to the iconic label he now owns. One contestant, Jake Tankersley, who gave a powerful performance of “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan, is among the lucky few in the running for one of these unique tokens.
With his cool demeanor, unexpected vocal talent, and unique coaching style, Snoop is already a standout this season. It’s clear that he’s not just here to observe; he’s here to make a difference, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what he’ll bring to The Voice next.
